Hi kids! Ever think about how water comes out of a tap or shower? It’s pretty cool, right? That magic is enabled by a special machine known as a . These pumps are very important and used in many applications like our homes, commercial buildings and even factories where things are made.

So, what is a single stage centrifugal pump? Well, it’s a device that is intended to carry water or other liquids from one point to another. This has a unique section known as an impeller, which looks like a turning wheel with curved blades. Now picture a fan blowing air, in this case it’s water that is being blown! The impeller spins incredibly fast within a casing, akin to a guard that surrounds it. The spinning impeller draws liquid into a central opening, called an inlet, and forces it out through a second opening, called a discharge. This process assists the water going where it should go.
